This image is sexist

[Delirious Biznasty]

help me deconstruct how this is sexist

[Delirious Biznasty]

In my eyes, it seems like a big fallacy to get ad revenue because this is really begging the question

[fat lesbian]

i can't believe people are dumb enough to be talking about it unironically like. they did that on purpose. they did that bc people would talk about it and spread the ad around. they saved themselves a lot of money in advertising by doing something ~controversial jesus christ companies have been doing this forever how do people not catch on

[Relaps]

It's sexist bc mystique didn't transform into apocalypse and say "quit choking urself"

[fat lesbian]

the entire conversation around it gives me heartburn like as if there aren't issues actually harming people right this second to talk about instead of an intentionally controversial advertisement

[fat lesbian]

a girl in egypt just died from female genital mutilation but by all means tell me How an ad for a fictional movie with fictional characters is the most pressing issue

I would agree with you and say it was a controversial move if they had only had jennifer lawrence as the sole person being abused in the marketing

[Delirious Biznasty]

but unfortunately that is not the case

[fat lesbian]

like the argument could be made that it's promoting violence against women but fucking CONTEXT! it's a superhero movie where people are gonna be beating each other up the whole time that's the fucking point and she's a goddamn supervillain on top of it like christ

[fat lesbian]

it's literally dumb to focus on fictional shit when the outrage could be directed at the shit causing r e a l p e o p l e to die

or like how Captain American is a Hydra sleeper agent

jesus christ it was the first issue of the story you don't even know how it's going to turn out WHY IS THIS AN ISSUE

[fat lesbian]

those are two different things and u know it tho. captain america was made by two jewish men to be a jewish hero when ppl needed it most and they're turning him into a nazi which is... not Good and also marvel said its a permanent change and is actually him. so at least being upset abt that is justified but also ridiculous that that's being pushed as the Main Antisemitic Thing in the World when jews r being forced out of their homes n murdered and terrorized all throughout europe but whatever. why talk about the hard stuff when the easy stuff is right there

[fat lesbian]

a supervillain being choked for an advertisement for a superhero movie where the whole point is people beating each other up is an actual fucking non issue. marvel sucks anyway. surprise

[fat lesbian]

it's literally all for shock value. shit is nonsensical. the fuck

[Delirious Biznasty]

Hydra is an ancient cult that got revived by the Nazis, they're Nazis by affiliation. Regardless of what Marvel say, there is going to be a retcon. There is literally always a retcon.

I like Image Comics better. They know what they're doing is gratuitist as fuck and I love it.

Fucking hell though, they have who I assume to be cyclops about to get his neck snapped but everyone is only focusing on this one. Double standards galore. I can't wait until society moves past this phase of insecurities and go to the next social movement.
